United Press International Coup against Maliki reported in the making Oct. 23, 2006 at 10:03AM Iraqi army officers are reportedly planning to stage a military coup with U.S. help to oust the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Cairo-based Iraqi and Arab sources said Monday several officers visited Washington recently for talks with U.S. officials on plans for replacing Maliki's administration by a "national salvation" government with the mission to re-establish security and stability in Iraq. One Iraqi source told United Press International that the Iraqi army officers' visit to the United States was aimed at coordinating the military coup in case the efforts of Maliki's government to restore order reached a dead end. He said among the prominent officers were the deputy chief of staff, a Muslim Shiite, the intelligence chief, a Sunni, and the commander of the air force, a Kurd. It is believed the three would constitute the nucleus of the next government after the army takes over power. The proposed plan, according to the source, stipulates that the new Iraqi army, with the assistance of U.S. forces, will take control of power, suspend the constitution, dissolve parliament and form a new government. The military will also take direct control of the various provinces and the administration after imposing a state of emergency. An Arab source also told UPI that certain Arab countries were informed of the plan and requested to offer their help in convincing the former leaders of the deposed Baath Party regime residing in their countries to refrain from obstructing the move and stop violence perpetrated by the party in Iraq. In return, they will be invited to participate in the government at a later stage. Washington is becoming increasingly impatient with the failure of Maliki's government in quelling sectarian violence threatening to plunge Iraq in an all-out civil war. [link to washtimes.com] |

Get some guys in charge over there who can do all the fighting and killing on their behalf, so CNN and Al-Jazeera don´t have to focus on "American atrocities" or "American failures". Iraq just becomes another dictatorship (but pro-Western) which the media seems quite good at leaving alone. Pakistan after all, had a military coup a while back and they´re now back in the good graces of the international community... sort of, at least. The problem is political of course, but then... Bush isn´t running for re-election, so maybe it doesn´t matter. They´ll still probably have to wait until after the mid-terms to do it, IF that´s what they´re gonna do...

You just can't make this stuff up!!! Distorted map tension cools off with apology from US Friday, September 29, 2006 ANKARA - Turkish Daily News Tension between the Turkish General Staff and the Pentagon sparked by a U.S. officer's use of a distorted map of Turkey during a NATO seminar earlier this month has eased following efforts on the part of Turkey's military and diplomatic corps to highlight the country's uneasiness over the incident. During a military technologies seminar at the NATO Defense College in Rome on Sept. 15 a U.S. colonel from the Pentagon displayed a map showing parts of Turkish and Armenian territory marked as Kurdistan -- a map that was recently featured by a professional defense and military periodical, the Armed Forces Journal, published in the United States. Following the Turkish officers' reaction at the seminar, an accredited Turkish diplomat at the NATO Defense College became involved in the issue. The Turkish diplomat notified Ankara of the incident after he found the U.S.officer's explanation unsatisfactory. Turkey's Ambassador to Italy Uğur Ziyal sent a letter to Lt. Gen. Marc Vankeirsbilck, the Belgian commandant of the college, and conveyed Turkey's reaction. Turkish diplomats in Ankara did the same by contacting officials at the U.S. Embassy, while diplomats in Washington relayed Turkey's reaction to the U.S. Department of State. “The map doesn't reflect the policy of the U.S. administration,” U.S. officials told their Turkish counterparts at every level, diplomatic sources in Ankara yesterday told the Turkish Daily News. Gen. Peter Pace, the chairman of the U.S. joint chiefs of staff, also contacted his counterpart, Chief of General Staff Gen. Yaşar Büyükanıt, and offered his apology over the incident. In all of their contacts with the U.S. side, Turkish diplomats underlined that Ankara has respect for academic freedom but that the borders of this freedom should have fine lines, the same diplomatic sources said. After the subject map was published in the U.S. journal, U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Ross Wilson stated that the map published in the U.S. magazine showing parts of Turkish and Armenian territory under the domination of a republic called “Kurdistan” does not reflect the official policy of Washington.

Kurdish communities can also be found in Lebanon, Armenia, Azerbaijan (Kalbajar and Lachin, to the west of Nagorno Karabakh) and, in recent decades, some European countries and the United States Ethnically related to Iranian people groups they speak Kurdish, an Indo-European language of the Iranian branch. Historically, the Kurds have continuously sought self-determination, and have fought the Sumerians, Assyrians, Persians, Mongols, European crusaders, and Turks. Estimated at about 30 million people, the Kurds comprise one of the largest ethnic groups in the world that do not have a nation-state of their own. In the 20th century, Turkey, Iran, and Iraq have put down many Kurdish uprisings. Before the spread of Islam in the 7th century CE, Kurds practised various religions like, Christianity, Judaism, Zoroastrianism and some indigenious religions. The majority practised their indigenous religions, today referred to as Yazdanism. There are Yazidism and Yarsan, which may stem from and eventually replaced those indigenious religions. Most Yazidis live in Iraqi Kurdistan, in the vicinity of Mosul and Sinjar. The Yarsan, (or Ahl-e Haqq) religion is practised in western Iran, primarily around Kermanshah. Christianity and Judaism both are still practised in very small numbers. Rabbi Asenath Barzani, who lived in Mosul from 1590 to 1670 was among the very first Jewish women to become a Rabbi. Today the majority of Kurds are officially Muslim, belonging to the Shafi school, and to a much lesser degree, the Hanafi school, both of Sunni Islam. There is also a significant minority of Kurds that are Shia Muslims, primarily living in the Ilam and Kermanshah provinces of Iran and Central Iraq ("Al-Fayliah" Kurds). The Alevis are another religious minority among the Kurds, mainly found in Turkey." [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

Celador User ID: 2996 ![]() 10/24/2006 06:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | US plans a series of military ‘superbases’ in Iraq [link to www.socialistworker.co.uk] October 2006 As Iraq sinks into chaos, the US military is planning to pull up the drawbridge behind a string of “superbases”. These bases will be similar to the Crusader castles that dotted the Middle East in the 12th century—heavily armed camps amid a hostile population. The biggest base constructed so far is at Balad, a sprawling 15 square mile mini-city 43 miles north of Baghdad. The US airforce base is currently the second busiest airport in the world, with over 27,500 landings and takeoffs a month. The US is also planning a “super embassy” in the heart of the Iraqi capital. ***According to CorpWatch, the new £316 million complex will cover 104 acres on the Tigris river in central Baghdad.*** The 1,000 US officials in Iraq will be protected behind 15 foot concrete walls. They will have access to swimming pools, shopping malls and gyms. The complex will have its own electricity supply, water and sewage treatment plants, and will be unaffected by the constant power cuts and degenerating water system in the rest of the country. |
